An 1801 London auction catalogue issued by Mr. Christie, the auctioneer, for the sale of paintings, drawings, bronzes and alabaster figures from the Duke of St. Alban's collection at his St. James Place house. The only picture is a decorative printed rule of scrolling foliage and small flowers, set above the words CONDITIONS OF SALE, showing the ornamental border style of late eighteenth-century printed sale notices that a designer could borrow for a classical headpiece or divider.
